The Ashes: Duncan Spencer - the fastest bowler you might not have heard of

'Raise hell' - the fastest bowler you might not have heard of

Everyone who encountered Duncan Spencer has a tale to tell.

In the early 1990s, a golden age of fast bowling, Spencer might have been the quickest of all.

Born in Lancashire and raised in Perth, Spencer could have played for either England or Australia if his body had not let him down. The fastest bowler the Ashes rivals never had.

The great Viv Richards said Spencer was up there with the quickest he faced. Ricky Ponting said the same - Spencer and Ponting almost came to blows on the pitch.
